English
Our class novel this half term has been Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. We have had lots of fun finding out about the different characters in the story and what happened to them when they went to visit the factory. We also became chocolate factory workers during a lesson where we made our own chocolates, choosing which chocolate we wanted to use and which decorations we wanted to add.

Maths
In maths we have been doing lots of work on our number skills. We have practised our counting, addition and subtraction and place value. We have used lots of different resources to help us like counters, number lines and 100 squares.
PE
In our PE lessons with The Wolves we have been practising our gymnastic skills. We have done lots of balancing, jumping and creating shapes with our bodies. We have also taken part in a yoga session where we had lots of fun copying the poses of the yoga instructor.
Maths
We have been very busy in maths practising our number skills, subtraction and also spent some time learning how to weigh items using balance scales.
Science
In Science we have been looking at living things and their habitats. We have been out of a nature walk and also made a bug hotel for the insects to live in.
Sensory Play
This half term we have had some fun with sensory play. We enjoyed experimenting with foam, sand shredded paper and water. We got very messy!
Horticulture
We have been very lucky this half term and have been able to take part in a weekly gardening lesson. We enjoyed finding out about nature, planting seeds and helping to keep the school grounds tidy.
